If a neighborhood is 100% European American. And you declare that you want to bring "diversity" to that neighborhood. That means your intention is to reduce the percentage of European Americans living in that neighborhood. You want to reduce it to 90%, or to 80%, or to 60%, or perhaps to 50% or even less.

So in essence, the direct translation of the word diversity as it applies to race, is there are "Too many White people" and we need "Less White people." To "Bring diversity" to a place is to reduce the number and percentage of White people living in that place.

It is the same thing as saying "This place is too White." "There are simply too many White people living here." "This is a terrible thing." "We must bring diversity to this place, we must reduce the number of White people living here." Can you blame people for being offended?

Is this said about any other group of people in America? Are there neighborhoods in America that are too Black? If a Black person stated they wanted a Black son or daughter because their African American heritage was important to them, would they be demonized by Mr. Cohen? No, of course not. If a Black person said they wanted to send their Black child to a school that was Black, would they be targeted by Mr. Cohen? No, of course not.

It's the same reason the schools are segregated in Israel, marriage between Jews and non-Jews is banned, and they build walls to keep their neighbors out. I'll bet Cohen doesn't have a problem with that, does he? He's not leading a crusade to bring diversity to Israel. But he'll lead a crusade to bring millions of impoverished, foreign people who speak Spanish into your neighborhood in order to "diversify" it.

The purpose of diversity is to breakdown cohesion within naturally occurring populations. You certainly don't see the Tea Party critics who complain about a lack of diversity embracing diversity of opinion within their own ranks.
